I purchased one of these firefly openers and can not get it to work no matter how I set the dip switches. Why does it not work? It is the correct one! 10 pin 300 m. Help!!!

I purchased 5 of them and 3 of the 5 had the dip switch "on" "off" upside down.

Do you have an opener that is old enough to have dip switches? My opener doesnit have them is why it won't work on mine. The ad on Amazon is not very clear. This is not a "universal" opener.

we gave up, but someone had some good input. we just never followed through...check the batteries and remove the tab, if there is one. good luck!

This did not work for my Stanley garage door opener- 10 pin, the MHz once opener was different (it would only work within a few feet of the opener. I had to order a different keychain opener. The company was nice and refunded my shipping as well.

I gave up to,then I ordered one that took a Grime door opener and that work fine and still does

I had the same problem until I realized the pins set upside down from my old remote. it has been working fine ever since. Good luck.

Try setting the switches the opposite of how you think they should be. Switch the ones you think should be off to on and vice versa. I remember the dip switches were confusing because what looks like should be the on setting was actually the off setting.

I read somewhere these don't work or Sears garage door openers. I used mine for the drive thru gate at my apartment complex. Double check the key to match or try changing the code on the opener to something simple like 3on 3off 3on 1off... if it doesn't work then your device is specific to the opener that company sells... their own special coded device.

after buying a few of those I finally found out that my Stanley garage door opener works on 310 megahertz frequency. Try buying a remote which works on 310 Mhz. Hope it helps.

Hi Roy, I bought two of these items and neither worked. I even bought new batteries thinking that could be the problem. I had to send them back for a refund...

Check the color of your programming button. If the button color coincides with the color designated to the opener it works. That's the only way to know for sure. In my experience even the identical models can have varying frequencies in different model years.

I had the same issue. Mine works fine. Based on what I have read, the "M" is just a revision. Make sure power is cut to the opener before you start work on it. Also remember you will need to re-program the unit to open with yuor garage door opener.

I did not have a problem with mine. My original was Yellow and Grey buttons. I replaced it with Green and Grey button remote (as shown). They both had (4) dip switches. I verified that the replacement dip switches matched the replaced remote (which coincidently was exact and did not need to be changed - but if it did, I would have used a eyeglass screwdriver to reset the switches) Everything works, including the light dimmer. I took a chance, as I did not want to buy the complete fan and remote set replacement. For me, it worked like new.

Try reprogramming the clicker and programmed car opener. Not sure why, but it would not hurt and may realign all your devices.

No, this garage door opener only works with the older DIP switch opener models. The opener unit has a 8 pin DIP switch setting and this controller has an 8 pin DIP switch which is set to the same setting. The controller will then work with that opener.

I believe almost everything Mighty Mule does is proprietary and won't work with other brands. To be sure, you can reach them at 1 800 543-4283. Often long hold times; sometimes you'll get lucky & reach someone pretty quick. But their in-ground sensors often have problems and/or short life span. Liftmaster make a far superior product and much better customer support. I'd call them; see if they make something similar for your opener: 1 800 528-2806

I am not familiar with your opener, but if it has 12 "dip switches" in it and it is more than 20 years old, this is worth investigating further.

Turn the "manual release button" on the side of the opener, first in one direction, and if that doesn't work, in the reverse direction. This hasn't happened often, but every time I tried this, it worked!

What's a Dip Switch??? I only use it to open garage door and it works well. The switch is a click type so you don't have to press hard.

That would sound logical. My remotes didn't work then I replaced the board then my remotes started to work again. The manual open button in my garage always worked though. Be sure to order the correct circuit card. Some cards like very similar.

it doesn't work with openers that have the magic button. it only works with openers that are programmed via dipswitch

Hi Nancy,It actually works with the dip switches you currently have in your receiver. I have 2 doors and it operates both. All you have to do is mount it and you're done! Example: your dip switches are slate to ON using 1468. Your code to open the door would be 8641 START. It's that easy! Truly happy with this purchase. Hope this helps.

Depending on the model of your opener it may only accept one code switch setting so all the remotes need to be set to the same code. Id the code switches are different only the last one learned will work.

I just opened it. It does not have pins (dip switches). It will work with the operators listed...full specs on lift master web site I think.

I'm not familiar with a power gate opener but if it functions using a ten-digit toggle code switch the Firefly works great

my opener lasted for 3 days and quit...my best advice is to buy a manual opener like the rabbit and throw away that one i did (0;
